What is a prototype?

A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:

Proof of Concept

Explorations that test ideas and functionality.

Functional Prototype

Demonstrates the functionality of the final product, but looks different.

Appearance Prototype

Looks like the final product, but is not functional.

Design Prototype

Appearance and function match the final product, but is made with different manufacturing methods.

Production Prototype

Appearance, function, and manufacturing methods match the final product.

These photos and videos provide a detailed look at this project’s development.

Imagine you're cycling into the wind, uphill, with your shopping strapped to your bike, and all that without breaking into a sweat ! You don't need to imagine any longer, try out the Debut Hybrid, you're going to love it. ThirtyOne has integrated the motor and the battery into the hub of the rear wheel. The system is surprisingly simple and there are no complicated controls to handle.

IT'S A HYBRID BIKE :

But the most amazing thing is that the bike recharges as it slows down. Just like a hybrid car, the bike recharges when you stop pedaling. You never really run out of battery, as all you have to do is go downhill or pedal backwards to recharge. It represents the next generation of EBike. Depending on the type of terrain and as you recharge by braking, the autonomy is variable. I personally did 100km without recharging the bike.

IT'S A SMART BIKE :

In addition, the bike is connected to your smartphone. Imagine that you want to get fit but you’d like a little help. You can set the motor to run at 50% power. Alternatively you are fit and want to be on time for an appointment, you can power up to 100%. You don't have a smartphone, no panic the bike can still operate.

WHY A THIRTYONE BIKE :

FOR ITS SIMPLICITY : No complicated controls to handle, no ackward gear lever to operate and no risk of derailing. If you know how to pedal, you will know how to ride the Debut Hybrid ! At the slightest request the motor progressively helps you. Everything is so easy.

FOR ITS COMFORT : We could tell you about the handlebars for added comfort, the double-armed crutch that guarantees excellent stability, the reinforced tyres with large inner tubes guaranteeing comfort on rough terrain, the light 18kg weight making it very easy to handle and most importantly the lightest urban electric bike on the market, the saddle which is really cushioned. Well tell you and we’re very proud to have done all this in just one bike.

FOR THE SAFETY OF THE BIKE : The main hindrance in buying a bike is theft. We had to find a solution.
Using your smartphone, you can lock the rear wheel. A thief can always cut your padlock but they won't be able to go anywhere. When you want set off on your bike, you just need to take your smartphone and click on the unlock button.
It’s all in the details that we judge quality... Our clever system allows you to adjust the height of your saddle without having to take it off the frame. You will never have your saddle stolen.
Then observing the padlock, hard to make more solid.

FOR YOUR SAFETY : Fully integrated autonomous LED lights, disc brakes ready to take on the worst weather and road conditions... So many features combined to give users what they’re looking for. Urban mobility in all its glory.

FOR ITS LUGGAGE RACK : Why didn't we fit a basket? Because it limits what you can carry. Our luggage rack is smarter as it can hold all kinds of things : computer bags, handbags, maybe some shopping or even small parcels ! Regardless of the object's size, the elastic straps with their self-locking system mean that you can adjust them to the perfect tension to securely attach your belongings to the stylish wood and aluminium rack. At ThirtyOne, mobility goes hand in hand with practicality ...

FOR ITS FRAME : The frame of the Debut Hybrid uses the most advanced technologies : 6061 high-quality aluminum tubes, T4-T6 heat treatments (fired for 4 hours then 24 hours to even out and strengthen the frame's resistance), internal cable path, aluminum and CNC disc pads ... All these features enable the Debut Hybrid to withstand the toughest of treatment and guarantee many years of fun cycling.
It is available in one size (1.55m - 1.85m), a single color and is mixed (male and female)

FOR ITS WARRANTY : The frame and forks are guaranteed for 5 years and the battery pack / motor is guaranteed for 2 years providing 2,000 charge cycles.

FOR IT'S FRENCH TOUCH : Our bikes are designed and assembled in our factory near Toulouse at the foot of the Pyrenees.

BE DIFFERENT // BE THIRTYONE :

Bikes and more specifically, electric bikes are becoming very trendy. Everyone's following this trend ... But ThirtyOne is doing it like noone else does. Much more than just a bike, we have created a "mobility accessory" that is all about innovation and design.
It's because cycling is our passion and we want to share it with you, because we love exciting projects and doing a good job, because cycling is the most wonderful of inventions, because the terms functionality, performance and aesthetics can cohabit harmoniously on the same product, because the most exciting projects are often the craziest and because designing and assembling bikes in France is not just a dream...
It was for all these reasons that we created ThirtyOne.

WHO IS THE CREATOR :

Christophe BAEZA is a former insurer, passionate about mountain biking to the point of making it in competition. Following an accident during a race, he sold his insurance agency and put all his efforts into this crazy project : to create an exceptional urban bike range from scratch with a key focus on innovation and design.
Designing an innovative bike in France is a bit like writing a epic. It is a long process with difficult challenges, big disappointments demanding blood, sweat and tears. But with plenty of tenacity, self-control, guided by an unwavering passion, great things can be achieved.
ThirtyOne is more than just a bike brand. It’s a human adventure, an exciting way of life.
